Foire aux Greniers de Bavent

The Foire aux Greniers de Bavent: the spring meeting for treasure hunters

Every spring, the commune of Bavent hosts its "foire aux greniers", an outdoor car boot sale that attracts treasure hunters from the Norman coast and the hinterland. Located rue de la Petite Justice, the event offers a pleasant setting for strolling among the stalls of private sellers looking for bargains.

Bavent, between Caen and the Côte Fleurie

Bavent is a commune in Calvados located halfway between Caen and Cabourg, in the Dives river floodplain. The commune, which includes several hamlets such as Robehomme, is known for its historic brickworks and its marshes. This rural area benefits from a privileged geographical location, close to the D-Day landing beaches and the seaside resort of Cabourg, which gives it a diverse population base between permanent residents and holidaymakers.

An authentic village car boot sale

The Foire aux Greniers de Bavent retains the authentic spirit of Norman country car boot sales. The sellers, all private individuals, offer a varied bric-a-brac: crockery, trinkets, clothes, toys, books, tools, small decorative items and collectibles. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, conducive to conversations between neighbors and unexpected discoveries.

An event for the whole family

The car boot sale is a family event par excellence. Children rummage through toy boxes while parents explore stalls of crockery and decorations. Lovers of second-hand books also find their happiness there, often with local history books and comics at modest prices. Entry is free for all visitors.
